Survivorman

Plenty of people know of Man Vs. Wild; I get the impression that this show is a bit less popular. Is it because of the title that isn't quite as cool? Maybe. Anyway, if you want to get a miniscule amount of experience with braving the wild without leaving your computer chair (like me) then you should give this a shot. If you want to go do the real thing, better learn to drink your own piss.

Les Stroud does things a bit different than Bear Grylls; Les does all the camera work himself and is alone while Bear has a cameraman. I'm not sure whether Les is more of a badass or is just doing things more inefficiently. Either way, I don't see much point in debating over which one of them is better, so I would recommend both of their shows to anyone interested in survival.

I've taken up a sort of fascination with survival and preparedness lately; trying to make my own bug-out-bag and stocking essentials. Such things could come in handy in a natural disaster type scenario, zombies, or other things.

The future belongs to those who prepare for it! And once again, you can watch this show through instant stream on Netflix.
